Donna, I just have to respond to your post, although my brain is a little fuzzy from my new physical therapy, but I will tell you all about that another time. Anyway, I think your husband should be ashamed of himself for giving you a hard time and not being more understanding and helpful. Anybody can get sick or have an accident and it only takes a few seconds to change one's life. His time will come when he needs you! So please take care of yourself and hopefully you will get better. Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks Sissy

And I think he knows that. HE just has never really understood why it happens to me. I have come to realize that I have these problems and
probably always will. So I've learned to live with it.

I am very pleased with how I'm doing with the most parts of my therapy and life.

Donna

Lucy I want to respond to your reply, will have to wait hopefully tomorrow. My back is killing me from being on my feet all day. Gaye

HI Gaye, no rush I am going away for the weekend.

Donna,
You have always been so wonderful and supportive to this community! I hope you have continued success! I always come on to see how everyone is doing and have little time to respond back and then end up staying too long reading and posting. It is because I admire you all so much! You are all doing a great job and I hope you have A great weekend! I'm going to NYC, a very overstimulating place to be but quite pretty this time of year. Stay well. positive and focused. Do not let anyone or anything(PCS) derail your right to a good quality of life.

Lynlee, the vertigo is my ear and it was from a fissure bursting in it the ENT said, yet I was already dizzy from the PCS already, so what a mess. I do better if I just don't lean over, turn over on my rt side in bed or turn my head around too fast. You're right about getting tired and having all the symptoms come right back. Getting stressed puts me in a tail spin something awful.
I blacked out an had a wreck March 8 and have never been the same since. My concussion was from my neck and head shaking backing and forth and the rest is history. The next day when I got out of bed I felt like I had gotten alhzimmers(spell?) over night.
You're night of dancing must have been very disapointing for you and I know how embarassing. I get very dizzy in stores just trying to shop...would hate to think of being in a room of flashing lights. Yikes!

Thanks Nancy

I sure try not to let anyone bring me down

Donna

Everyone else should do the same.

Hi everyone,
People to share my problems with at last!I have the same symptoms as everyone else and i am trying to finish my degree and in the last year of university. It all started when I had a terrible car crash in 2006 doing 90mph. This has resulted in tbi, terrible memory loss, vertigo, dizziness and the worst headaches anyone could imagine. Its so bad I have to go to accident and emergency and get morphine. When im doing my essays i have to wear a tight scarf round my head to alleviate the pressure in my head. Has anyone else experienced this? It sounds quite funny but it does help a bit. I am going to the neuro surgeon on thursday as my head aches have got worse and im getting really worried now as all the people dont really understand what it is like to have tbi and the problems that go with it. I am qualifying as a chartered surveyor soon, but I wont be able to do the job as I cant remember anything, and I just wondered how everyone else copes with jobs or if they have them?Thanks so much.
